As-Salaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatu, I am still fairly new to the deen as I have only been in the deen for about 5 years and only been on the Salafi minhaj for about 1 and a half years. I was hopeing you could tell me how I can start to study to be a student of knowledge so I can teach my family. I am currently in America and as of now I do not have the financies to move to where I can sit with a scholor. I was reading a book named Ten Guidelines for Obtaining Knowledge Writeen by Abdullah bin Salfeeq Adh-Dhufairee and he stated that one thing you must do is sit with a scholor and learn from him. I know that there are no scholors in America so is there advice you can give me until I can afford to move to where there is one. Jazakaa'Allah khair for any assistance in this matter. As-Salaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatu

Assalamu Alikum Dear Brother! What I have learnt with regard to seeking ilm is that it should be started with learning the correct intention ŭ seeking the face of your Allaah! 1. Correctness of Intention: Regarding keeping the intension correct, you should study a great work of Abdul Salaam Burjis, known as ŭObstacles in The Path of Knowledgeŭ: http://salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?secID=SCL&subsecID=SCL06&loadpage=displaysubsection.cfm 2. Methodology of seeking knowledge: Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan said in a fatwa: ŭHe should begin with that which is easiest step by step; he should begin with the small treatises and study them with the Mashaykh, then gradually advance to more extensive books and like this he continues. He does not go to the major extensive books from the beginning; rather he should progress to them little by little, graduating step by step.ŭ Reference: http://www.fatwaislam.com/fis/index.cfm?scn=fd&ID=292 3. Aqeedah comes first: To know the importance and understanding the need for Tawheed, study the following work of Abdul Salaam Burjis: ŭAqeedah comes firstŭ http://salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=AQD01&articleID=AQD010004&articlePages=1 To know about the details of tahweed in Simplified form, study the work by Shaikh Salih al-Fawzaan: The Aqeedah of Tawheed: Part 1 - The Islamic Aqeedah: http://salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=TAW01&articleID=TAW010011&articlePages=1 The Aqeedah of Tawheed: Part 2 - Tawheed ar-Rububiyyah http://salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=TAW01&articleID=TAW010012&articlePages=1 The Aqeedah of Tawheed: Part 3 - Tawheed ul-Uluhiyyah http://salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=TAW01&articleID=TAW010013&articlePages=1 The Aqeedah of Tawheed: Part 4- Tawheed ul-Asmaa was-Sifaat http://salafipublications.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=TAW01&articleID=TAW010015&articlePages=1 After making your grounds, study the work of Imaam Muhammad ibn ŭAbd al-Wahhaab (may Allaah have mercy on him): 1. Usool Thalaathat 2. Al-Qawaaŭid al-Arbaŭah 3. Kashf al-Shubahaat 4. Kitaab Al-Tawheed Hope, Insha Allaah, it would benefit. Zeeshan Aslam, Lahore, Pakistan

Dear Brother, As salaamu 'alaykum, Bismillah,
As-Shaikh Abu 'Abdir-Rahmaan Muqbil bin Haadi al-Waad'ee [d.1422], may Allah have mercy on him, mentioned, "If a student of knowledge is strong in the 'Arabic language, his path to understanding the other sciences of Islaam will be easier." Explanation of Tufatus-Saniyyah, Muhammad as-Sagheer, may Allah preserve him, pg:8 Translator's note: Learning the 'Arabic language will also give you the ability to take from the mouths of the scholars yourself (i.e. it will free you from depending on translations).
Make du'aa (supplication) that Allah gives you the ability (physically and financially) to further your studies, and don't let the fact that you are in America stop you from learning 'Arabic! There are many brothers and sisters, who have by the permission of Allah, then their hard work, learned 'Arabic while living in America. Benefit: What are some conditions for your du'aa to be answered? (1) - Sincerity (2) - Be sure that Allah, the Most High, will answer you. (3) - Do not ask for something that is impermissible. (4) - Do not rush the answer. (5) - Do not transgress the bounds in your supplication. Example: Do not ask for a place in Paradise better than the places of Messengers,alayhim as-salaatu was salaam. (6) - Make sure that your belongings,food,drink,clothing and home are all lawful. Translator's note: These conditions are a brief, summarized translation of what can be found in As-Shaikh 'Ubaid's, may Allah preserve him, explanation of The Three Fundamental Principles pp:72-73. For a detailed translation, purchase the book. Mashaa Allah, it has been translated in its entirety. May Allah reward those responsible for its publication. Also, this post is not only directed to you, it is directed to anyone, myself firstly, who may be in the beginning stages of seeking knowledge. I ask Allah, the Most High, to give us all success in our quests for knowledge. And Allah,the Most High, knows best. Jameel Finch

As-Salaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatu, Masha Allah all of the advise you have received is excellent. Another idea is to get some like minded (like hearted) brothers together, and invite one of the recommended Du'aat over for a 2-3 day session of classes. A brother from New York came when we offered and it was extremely beneficial. And, now we have a little tele-link with him on Sunday nights and he is reading the Explainations of AL Qawaa'idul Arba'a and 'Umdatul Ah'kaam to us. I ask that Allah make it easy for me, and for you, to aquire knowledge of Him, His Prophet (salallahu 'alaihi wasalaam) and His Deen, with all the proofs, Allahumma Ameen. "It is enough knowledge that one fears Allah, it is enough ignorance that one be impressed by his own knowledge" Masrooq(rahimahullah)

wa 'alaikumus-salaam warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh, BaarakAllahu feek yaa akhee. Insha'Allah, don't forget about Reciting, Memorizing, and Reviewing the Qur'aan. Connected to this is learning the 'Arabic Language which would help one understand the Speech of Allah the Most High, and that of His Prophet sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. What follows is from a pdf I got from the website MARKAZ TAWHEED WAS SUNNAH in Durham, NC:
